Yeppers, I got it fixed as part of another repair that needed to be done. Thanks though friend. When we going fish'n?

Great fish bud! I am planning a trip hopefully for next week!

A 5 ton dump trailer, friend.

Hi Friend, what are you doing Saturday?

Used to throw a Snag proof frog customized with solder as weight and a double gammie 5/0. Great bait to load the boat and have fun with, but tough to win a tournie.

Holy smokes, those are giants. Screw Dunkirk!

Looks awesome bud, I learnt alot from my gramps. Appears you moved the gas meter. I have a landscaping biz on the side and sometimes the meters can be the biggest pain in the butt.

Oh oh, Got my numbers mixed...I better check the ledger I just sent to finance. Thanks Fish..

Roy...

Thanks for the post JohnF and it sounds like you might very well be a great agent/broker. Have any houses listed east of TO?

I was just thinking of ways to maximize my budget. If the listing agent sells the house they get 5% say, now the buyers agent gets the other 5% each minus broker fees and expenses. I just negoitated with a seller agent that they would take a lower commission if it meant selling the house with-in my budget considering now they would get the whole 10%. I sign a deal with them for this individual property only and put in an offer. The little savings on the real estate fees may put me in a house I otherwise might not have had a chance at. Not in real estate either, just a family man on a fixed income.

Now there's a win win!

Good for you John, it's an expensive game and any little support truly helps the team out! And you would be suprised the "exposure" that decal will get you.

Congrats Mike, now the hunt begins. Private sale is the way to go. IMO,no brainer. Fishburn, majority of realtors will not show a private house to their clients because there is no commision. One thing I did was place the Ad in Kijiji, and offer a $500 finders fee to realtors if they brought the buyer in. I didn't need to as it sold quickly, but I got a few more calls! I am looking for private sales now to buy. Or I'll find it on MLS, and use the realtor selling the property instead of sigining with one, as they would get the full commission and may drop a couple %'s to get the sale.

I hear ya bud, I actually stole my Misses pink nail polish one time after running out of pink paint powder. I have orange, chartreuse, red powder etc.. But had to have pink. So between stealing the nail polish, panty hose for roe and taking maribou feathers from her hair thingys, she is beginning to wonder what type of fishing I am really doing!

Great rods Farmer! Police auctions can be a steal if you hit the right one. I got a 13ft and 6ft Team Daiwa rods at one, as well as a leather wallet, scope, $20 mountain bike, and a stihl crete saw. Never know what you can get at one!

Ok then, Spiel, how attached are you to Farmer?

This boards full of quitters! Me too, 3+ weeks and counting, Champix. I am off the meds now, wicked nightmares (no joke).

Farmer, how attached to the Bull Whips are ya?

Thanks! Are you basically bulking down the presentation while still having a little extra added attractor? I should start using live bait.

Hey all, I totally forgot about this picture I took a while ago. While working on another project I found it on my puter. Thought I would post it here with walleye opener around the corner and all. Hope you enjoy it. I'll also share a tip, as the picture displays, I like to use 7 inch worms, trim a couple inches off and use a mushroom head. Sometimes the longer/slender profile will get'em to go over the grub. Good luck to those heading out for opener.

I figure the cost is one heck of a "honey to do list". 10 chores a month for 15 years. Close??? Seriously, I am going with High 40's.

I fish docks almost exclusively on certain lakes and won a few sheckles doing so. I have run into all types of land owners. Some nice, some not so nice, and some plain evil. I try 110% to be as careful as I can and if I do snag up, I WILL get it. Even if I have to jump on the dock to do so. I always have an extra bag of plastics on the deck to throw incase I run into kids on shore or a half decent owner who comes down for a chat. Then there is ethics and simple manners too, unfortunately this can be lacking on both sides. If someone is fishing on their dock, you swing way wide, wish them luck and move on. There are no style/kind/depth of dock that won't be fished by someone. I know some owners rap there docks in rope and others snags to deter guys. I actually look for those docks to fish, more structure for them. Cliff, it is frustrating, and I pretty sure I know your dock if your just up from the mouth of GB, there is no fish in the area! lol One owner had a sign on his dock that said something along the lines of "hook free zone, Kids Swimming" I thought it was a good idea. May not stop people, but maybe make them a little more conscience.

I know about that beast(never seen one personally though), I am more looking for the console style like the ranger/skeeter/stratos. Maybe they should start a WalleyeCat series.

Classic! I might have to steal that and knit for the gents on my watch at the Moose camp this year.
